Our favourite part of the day:
On Monday we practiced numbers in different ways and we learned about Max the Ox.
On Tuesday we spilt milk and we danced.
On Wednesday we drew an ox and danced.
On Thursday we had a fire drill and we learned about the orange puzzle piece.
On Friday we started learning about 3D shapes and learned about Actress Annie.
Practicing Numbers:
I found this great resource on Teachers Pay Teachers by Liv to Teach for subitizing. Subitizing is being able to know how many of an object there is without counting. These cards are great for recognizing numbers in different ways.

3D Shape Introduction:
We started learning about 3D shapes. We compared a cube and a rectangular prism. We discussed the difference between a rectangle and a rectangular prism. I will slowly be introducing the 3D shapes to the children and begin playing with the shapes and comparing them.
Dancing Like Crazy:
We started a unit on dance and the children love it! We have talked about using different parts of our body: legs, arms, head, shoulders, fingers, hands, toes and so on. We practiced using different levels (low, medium and high) and different speeds (slow, medium and fast). I even introduced the children to different dances. This week they learned the bunny hop and chicken dance. They even had an introduction to the "Cha Cha Slide". So put on some music and dance around your living room. It is so much fun!

More Nutrition:
We read the book "It Looked Like Spilt Milk" and created our own pictures.
We also discussed the dairy food group.
We cut out food from flyers and placed them in the correct food groups.

Animated Literacy:
This week in Animated Literacy we reviewed O and X and created the word ox. We took the time on Wednesday to draw an ox and write a sentence. The children did a wonderful job! Here is an example:
The new characters were Felix Fox and Max the Ox who like to box with socks and Actress Annie who adds on her abacus. Please go over the handouts that have been sent home with your child to review the sounds and letters. They can colour the picture and then circle the special sound within the song at the bottom.
This week we practiced writing more lowercase letters. When you have a moment practice writing d and g as well as what words start with "duh" (for "dog") and "guh" (for "gum"). Another activity could be finding different objects in the house that start with the letters/sounds that we have been learning.
Don't Forget:
On cold days please make sure to send hats and mittens. Also, on days where there is snow or it is slushy please send boots and snow pants. Thank you!
Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at the school, by email or just drop in (I am usually around before school).
